James Dewar. BtP is very sorry to have to report the death, after long illness, of the fine singer and bassist who graced Robin Trower's classic early albums, and who recorded his own classic with Matthew Fisher.

You may have noticed the temporary disappearance of BtP's review of the superb Procol Harum DVDLive in Copenhagen. The review page is now back in commission, and the Procol Harum DVD is once again available for online ordering from the BtP shop at an excellent price! (A note about the pricing of this item is here.)

International Procol Harum Day ! (see here). Today is the anniversary of the 1967 release of A Whiter Shade of Pale: why not have a look at BtP's register of online fans and send a suitably Procoholic greeting to a neighbour?

Added a page advertising a June concert of Beatles music that Palers might like to attend, featuring musicians from Procol Harum, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Genesis, Queen, Squeeze, the Who, and other notable solo stars.

When ordering the shirt DO tell us the SIZE you want and the COLOUR. E-mails not specifying SIZE and COLOUR can't be processed. If you are NOT going to Croydon, we have now added facilities to pay online by credit card.

Added a page of pictures taken on the BtP webmasters' recent visit to Croydon, which should be helpful if you are making your first trip to that city for the Procol gig: you'll be able to recognise the base-camp and the concert hall, you'll know where to eat, where to park, how to cross the road, and so on.
